Yes, they did, and the black alternates. The Cubs did something similar with their uniforms (no names at home) until 1993. The Giants and Red Sox do not have names on their home uniforms. The Yankees have never had names on any of their uniforms.

I suspect the 1993 team is going to be forever shortchanged for these sorts of things, just because it'll always end up being overshadowed by the 83 team, if just because it gives them an excuse to break out the silly uniforms.

1983 was special because it was the first championship in Chicago in 20 years. By 1993, winning a division didn't mean as much.

And now winning a division means as much as winning a wild card if you don't get to the World Series.
